Bleeding Edge: dev branch renamed

[Werner]

Quite a while ago developers decided to rename the dev branch to edge to reflect its purpose better: https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-233

 

This now finally happened. Our documentation has been adjusted as well. For details feel free to check these commits:

 

https://github.com/armbian/documentation/commit/6c9985c9f5a0f593ab2593eb8054b6c658445d25

https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/0cdffb29b07305209efb12cf3b5ac6032d3a1153

 

For those who do automated and/or scripted building take note to adjust it accordingly.

maybe a stupid little question

Is there an "official" way to update kernel-package from dev to edge without recompiling/installing the newest image?

 

I did manually for one of my NanoPi Neo2:
 

apt remove linux-u-boot-nanopineo2-dev -y
apt remove linux-dtb-dev-sunxi64 -y
apt remove linux-image-dev-sunxi64 -y
apt remove linux-buster-root-dev-nanopineo2 -y
dpkg -i ./linux-u-boot-edge-nanopineo2_21.05.0-trunk_arm64.deb 
dpkg -i ./linux-buster-root-edge-nanopineo2_21.05.0-trunk_arm64.deb
dpkg -i ./linux-dtb-edge-sunxi64_21.05.0-trunk_arm64.deb 
dpkg -i ./linux-image-edge-sunxi64_21.05.0-trunk_arm64.deb
dpkg -i ./armbian-zsh_21.05.0-trunk_all.deb 
dpkg -i ./armbian-firmware_21.05.0-trunk_all.deb 
dpkg -i ./armbian-config_21.05.0-trunk_all.deb

Not as I am aware of. Needs to be done manually.

Manual way: removing current -dev armbian packages and install -edge variants. But stable base doesn't have u-boot packages ...

@Igor I replaced (by the meaning of u-boot)
linux-u-boot-nanopineo2-dev 

with 

linux-u-boot-nanopineo2-edge ( linux-u-boot-edge-nanopineo2_21.05.0-trunk_arm64.deb )

But Iam searching for the -edge replacement for linux-buster-root-dev-nanopineo2, because apt has only for "linux edge":
[EDIT] this was created at 

./output/debs/buster/linux-buster-root-edge-nanopineo2_21.05.0-trunk_arm64.deb
